    I've got a simple project underway to modify a standard Lindbergh arcade board for use in the home (much like the Neo Geo MVS/AES system, or consolized Atomiswaves). Once I've finished my prototype, I intend to gather some niche market interest for cash loaded collector's looking for the mythical "Dreamcast 2". Once I've finished documenting the internal specs for Sega Retro, I have 5 machines I intend to mod and sell, and if there is continued interest, I might have a little hobby business making some more.

    But I need a cool name, something cooler than Dreamcast 2. Ideas I've had so far:

    Sega LindCast
    Sega Dreambergh
    Sega Orteig
    Sega Uranus
    Sega Kuiper Belt

    Anything else?

    making cool music no one gives a shit about
    Name it after Osiris; the Egyptian god of the dead, but also the god of resurrection. Death and resurrection seems like a pretty good theme to base a Dreamcast successor on.

    SEGA Osiris. I like the ring of it myself but I wanna see what other people come up with. Whatever you decide, give me a ring if you need some cheap/free graphics work done for it. I'd love to help you come up with a logo and type treatment.

    Sega Blazengi, after some old hoax.


    But everyone already knows that the Dreamcast 2 was the Xbox.

    fixed. Literally 2 Dreamcasts scotchtaped together.

    So yeah, "Dreamcast 3" was also a name I was considering, just to confuse people.

    You've sold me on the name. The Sega Osiris sounds great.

    I'm going with that.

    Name it Sega Jesus because no matter how much people wish for it to be real, it wont be.

    I can even imagine a mock-90s style TV commercial with this as the backing track

    If the last console merely cast the dreams then the God of dreams will be exponentially superior.

    I did think of that.

    I wonder whether I should be thinking other famous aviators...

    Sega Hughes

    Do you think the Lindbergh was named after Charles Lindbergh as an obtuse reference to the UK:Resistance "Blue Skies in Games" campaign. This only occurred to me recently when Sega recently trademarked "Liberation of the Blue Sky"

    I know I'm a bit late, but Osiris has a nice ring.
